Your campus

We can’t wait for you to explore Winchester student life this year. We hope all of our facilities will be available but they are all subject to change based on Government guidelines.

SPORTS FACILITIES

Our University gym is found within Burma Road Student Village. Work out with state-of-the-art technology spread over two floors under the guidance of our qualified Health and Fitness instructors or take part in our wide variety of health and fitness classes, exercise workshops and gym challenges. We have different options for affordable membership.

As well as the gym and fitness studio we also have an all-weather multi-use games area and Sports Hall in the King Alfred Quarter as well as an eightlane athletics track and astro pitch at the Winchester Sports Stadium at the Bar End Quarter. We’re proud to be a partner in the new Winchester Leisure Centre and Sports Park where a 50m pool, climbing facilities and sports courts are now open, with a discount for students. Email sportsenquiries@winchester.ac.uk for more information.

SPIRITUAL LIFE

One of the University’s three values is spirituality and we welcome people of all faiths and none to begin the adventure of discovering your spiritual self during your time at Winchester. There are Buddhist, Christian and Muslim Chaplains to offer a warm welcome, hospitality, a listening ear, friendship, worship and community online or on campus. The Chapel, Anchorage, Contemplation Space and Muslim Prayer Room host organised events and activities as well as being places for private reflection and contemplation. For more information visit the Spirituality page of the University website.

BOOKSHOP

Located on the top floor of the King Alfred Centre, the P&G Wells University Bookshop provides all the books you need for your course, often cheaper than Amazon. You’ll find books recommended by your lecturers, and we’ll order books in for you at no extra charge. Contact the Bookshop at any time by emailing

bookshop@winchester.ac.uk.

FOOD ON CAMPUS

We lead the way in sustainable catering, providing food that is local, independent, fair and ethical. There is a wide range of food options, including vegan and gluten-free, across our multiple award-winning catering outlets. If you suffer from food allergies or have dietary requirements, email us on foodallergyaware@winchester.ac.uk to find out how we can cater for you.

SUSTAINABILITY

We are passionate about sustainability and the environment in everything we do here at Winchester. From only using renewable energy to sending zero waste to landfill we are always seeking ways to improve sustainability. To reduce disposable cup use, you will be given a free reusable cup for hot drinks. We also encourage you to join us in our environmental aims by recycling as much as possible and taking steps to reduce your own environmental impact. We also have a huge range of activities, events and campaigns to get involved in.
